Chris Hansen’s Summary
I've always felt strongly that good writing is a commodity in the business world. That rings truer than ever in an environment where so much of business today is represented online. From Web site content to marketing copy to blogs, businesses strive every day to increase their presence and prominence in the cacophony that is the World Wide Web.
I began my career as a freelance writer for publications within the ski and snowboard industry and followed my bliss to a small mountain town where I sought a way of life first and a career second. Along the way I've learned how to tailor the written word for many aspects of the business world and implement communications and marketing strategies across many platforms for many purposes.
Tourism marketing, non-profit arts communications and marketing, public relations, editorial management, blogging and blog management, and online product marketing. These and more are all competencies that have and continue to forge my career direction. You can check out my full resumé at http://www.twistoflime.biz/chris-hansens-resume/.
Where to next? That's like asking where the Internet is going next. Currently I'm helping small businesses and non-profits here in Jackson Hole get their online act together in the form of Web site development, and then working with them to expand their online presence and marketing through social media and other appropriate tools. By business is called Twist of Lime and you can learn a little more at www.TwistofLime.biz.

Freelance Writer
self employed
(Writing and Editing industry)
1994 — Present (16 years )
With a journalism degree in hand and more time on snow than in "practical" job positions, I found myself writing for ski and snowboard magazines including Transworld Snowboarding Business, SnowboardLife, Powder, Snowboarder, SnowboardingOnline and a few others here and there.
I still try to do a little writing when I can, but these days I prefer to spend my free time outdoors or with my family. -
